mostly operational

well, it looks like we’re back up and running.

my domain is now registered with godaddy, and i’m through with that yahoo! nonsense, and everything is pretty once again.

i’ve currently got it using domain masking, which is the same thing as forwarding, only that if you get here using sassyass.net, it still looks like your browser window is looking at sassyass.net. however, this does seem to make it so your window continues to claim that you’re looking at sassyass.net for anything you click on afterwards, so any links that you follow until you actually use a bookmark or type in a new url, are branded as my website. it’s a brilliant new marketing scheme whereby i slowly and virally start taking control of the internet!

(remember when the internet was different than just all the web pages/htmlspace out there? there was usenet newsgroups, ftp sites, gopher, etc. now it’s essentially the same.)

the funny thing is that this causes the same issue that i left yahoo in a snit over, which is that it doesn’t pass through anything after the domain url. i fixed my website to get around this, although some of the old images aren’t showing up.

or i could just turn masking off, but where’s the fun in that? we’ll see.

in the meantime, it looks like i may have missed all the mail that was sent to me for a couple of days. and to be honest, i didn’t miss it at all.

ignorance is bliss! feigned ignorance is blissfuller!
